March 2023 timetable revision
editThrough services to and from the Tokyu Toyoko Line courtesy of the Shin-yokohama Line began operation on 18 March 2023.[2] Effective this date, through services from Shonandai continue past Hiyoshi on the Tokyu Shin-yokohama Line towards Wakoshi on the Yurakucho Line.
Future developments
editA westward extension from Shōnandai to Kurami Station on the JR East Sagami Line has been proposed. One of the station is to be built near the Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus.[3] As a new station is proposed to be built on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen near Kurami, the proposed terminus may become an interchange station with the Shinkansen.[4]
